The Bay


Our house was on Selby Bay, a cove off the South River, an estuary of the Chesapeake. So it's about water, a resource in short supply in Colorado. I spent as much time as temperature would permit on the dock and on the shoreline in early morning. The sun's rays would reflect off the clouds onto the water...leaving the waters not underneath the clouds to their natural blue/grey. Looking east across the cove, the sun had left a narrow band of unreflecting waters...stunning blue in contrast to the clouds pinks. The bands of color played against the benches on the dock. A good beginning to the day ahead.
